If the Aggies beat South Carolina on Aug. 28 by 10 points or more, the College Station Ashley Furniture HomeStore will write customers a check for the cost of any purchase made during its 12-day Kickoff Event, which kicks off Saturday and runs until Aug. 27, the day before the game. There is no minimum purchase necessary. “You can buy just a sofa or a whole new living room,” said Chris Clark, director of marketing for the Wilks Group. “If the Aggies win by 10 or more we’ll cut you a check for the amount.” Ashley Furniture HomeStore owners Mark and Cheryll Wilks felt this was the best way to be part of the preseason buildup.
